My recommendation for them is that they send all of their money to me :)

No need to hold into worthless paper they cant take with them. In fact, I'll buy it at a rate of 1/100th of its value :D

I hope every single person that is stupid enough and thinks the world is going to end wakes up the following day and just commits suicide.

what a Crock

+1 I love how there have been so many times "the end of the world is coming". Jesus get over yourselves already. We have about as much of a clue about the world ending as a rock does about it's surrounding environment. Idk why everyone is so hung up on the world ending. If it does somehow one day, then sit back and enjoy yourself while you can. Life is like a train and you know what, it's going to hit you. Now you can either run from it in panic until you die, or you can sit back, crack open a beer and watch it come.

But almost all jokes aside, if the end of the world comes, please let it be after the Doctor Who Christmas special! Afterwards, I don't care XD

Damn right! Other wise the end of the world will have me to answer too!!!!

I always find it very comical as well. As after all, we are all going to die anyway. The world ending makes no difference in that regard.

I am going to shamelessly quote my own signature here:

I cant wait for the 22nd , Im seriously going to troll the nut job sites till I'm banned into oblivion.

No doubt the doom sayers will come out with some BS excuse as to why we all are alive and create some other stupid date for our horrific deaths.

Why dont these idiots make up something nice , Like the AOKP unicorn comes down and licks the evil from humanity until we get a visit from a spaceship full of little green android dudes and we all get assimilated into droids (4.2 AOKP obviously)

A man can only dream hahaha :woot:

In America Ron Hubbard, a manufacturer of hi-tech underground survival shelters, has seen his business explode.

Is this a joke? That name is known for something else that I consider wacky as well lol :p

I also spotted this and was surprised that only one person picked up on this! Perhaps we're showing our age, (Not sure how old you are?) but for those that don't know what we are going on about, the person that immediately came to mind was L. Ron Hubbard. He wrote pretty famous books like Battlfield Earth and Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. He also started that most insidious of "religions" called Scientology!

It crossed my mind too, but I think he died something on the lines of 20 years ago. Other people here probably realized the same thing. :)

Exactly , I live in London .so what clock are we going by ? I find it rather ironic that they could supposedly predict the future but didn't see the end of the empire they had built coming :laugh:.I just love this theory ,Mind blowing ...wow , just wow !

I have done a lot of research on the subject of 2012 and i have come to a possible conclusion. as many of you know, there are a few different scenarios on what could happen. 3 days of darkness, 2 suns afterwards etc. my belief is that the earth is going to go through the black hole that is expanding at the edge of our solar system and will take three days to get through and when we come out the other side, we will be in a new solar system with 2 suns and different constellations. i know that all of this is hard to believe but its the most rational explanation that i can think of that makes some sense. please can you all consider this as a possibility and let me know your thoughts?

Who is really freaking out about this thing? I work with a lot of people... not one has made reference to this date in a less than laughing and mocking way, friends... same thing. Hell, even at places like the mall and grocery store, not a peep.

Ohhhh yeah, the news outlet are talking about it to drum up business. Carry on.

If Nibiru was going to hit earth on the 21st, dont you think we'd see it in the sky by now?

I'm actually surprised this entire year wasnt filled with panic, tv shows, sensationalistic news and more movies like... well, '2012'.

You must not have turned on the History Channel recently...

Not going to even read the article, people are stupid, and misinterpreting it completely. The Mayan calendar continues well past this year, some of my professors had a seminar disproving this s***. Other than that I'm clueless as to the "facts" people seem to be applying to 12/21. In conclusion - if you believe this ****, you're F'ing retarded and come see me on the 22nd :)

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

Basically, if you miss the good old days of Winamp and want a modern upgrade that doesn’t mess things up, WACUP is for you! WACUP key features: Classic Winamp Feel – Keeps the familiar interface and functionality.

Regular Updates – Community-driven development with new features and fixes. WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
